One of the stars of “Jersey Shore” has been stalling about re-upping with MTV because a better offer may be in the works at E! Network, according to inside sources cited by TMZ.com.

E! reportedly has a new show in mind for Pauly D — Paul DelVecchio — and according to sources the channel is offering more money than what MTV, which wants to renew "The Pauly D Project" for a second season, is putting on the table.

The report says DelVecchio has had three meetings about the E! project and is close to signing a new deal with the network. The show would focus more on his entire life, rather than singling out his career as a DJ, the story adds.
